Fast Boot time

HDD drive failure so decided to go with a SSD. Easy to setup. Cloning software was included, but I was unable to use due to HDD failure, but did try it after, very good product. Buying the kit would be the easy way to go. SSD has decreased boot up times to less than 45 seconds.

Cons:
  • When first released and reviewed by the industry Kingston used synchronous NAND when building the V300's

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SATA 3.0 SSD

Lastly, with the initial create task in Compile Bench the performance out of the KINGSTON SV300S3 120GB on Ubuntu with the Linux 3.13 kernel was on par with the OCZ Vertex 3 SSD. At the end of the day there isn't anything special about the Kingston SSDNow V300's performance.

Good product; works

I have an old PC with an old drive and wanted to give it a bit more useful life at minimal dollars. This kit is good value and makes data migration simple. I gave it 4 stars on average simply because it's my first SSD and I don't personally have any perspective on whether it's better or worse than...

Kingston SSDNow V300 (120GB & 240GB) Review

I have one issue with the V300: There's nothing particular in it that would differentiate it from the other SandForce based SSDs. While Kingston said they did lots of customization and worked closely with SandForce/LSI, at least in our testing there aren't any striking differences.

Kingston SSDNow V300 (120GB) Solid State Drive Review

The drive is available at RM 299 but it doesn't come with an installation kit, and yet it costs more than the Intel 330 series of the same size that comes with an installation kit (RM 269)! I didn't buy an Intel 330 series because I already have one, so I thought to give Kingston's drive a spin.
